I love to prepare risotto or rice dishes in general. And since the season of pumpkin is right there, I like to use it in my risotto.
I also love the tasteful sausages such as Saucisse de Toulouse in France or Butifarra de Pages in Spain. Basically, a sausage that is more ‘upscale’ than the basic tasteless one that you could buy anywhere.
Here’s one recipe that is pretty quick to prepare and really good.

Steps:
- Best is to make your own broth, it really isn’t difficult and have many way of doing it
- If you do it yourself, you can refer to past recipes but in general i would put 3l of water, 3 carrots, Leak, celery, onion, salt, pepper, turnip, laurel leave and let it cook 1hr. You can add any peace of meat inside to give more taste, like a chicken or bones from other meat
- In your Le Creuset pan, fry the sausages in olive oil to extract the tasteful juice and add the pumpkin that you have previously cut in small pieces
- Remove after the sausage is cooked and before the pumpkin becomes purée
- Add some olive oil and stir in the onion that you will previously cut in small pieces
- Add the rice and stir without stopping a 2mn until the rice starts to change color
- Add the white wine
- Once fully evaporated, add some broth and stir in the rice until fully absorbed.
- Then continue to add and stir until you have the prefect rice texture. (before you add the last part of the broth put back the sliced sausage & pumpkin to give some additional taste
- I like the rice still slightly firm rather than sticky.
- Add a spoon of butter and parmesan, stir in and serve
